According to him, his stance is largely influenced by his own early struggles in the industry, as well as the initial lack of support he received from his father when he chose music as a career path. He admitted that the experience affected his happiness at the time.
“Do you want your kids to be in this industry or would you prefer your kids to work with grandpa?” the interviewer asked.

“Omo, go and work with my dad. Every Christmas, my dad takes all the grandkids with him. And I could just see that upon all the things he has, including multiple private jets and all that, his happiness is him seeing his grandchildren. And my father is single. So I just saw his happiness and I’m like meh, this is like what life is all about. My dad not wanting me in the entertainment really k+lled my joy until he saw that this boy is really adamant about doing this. I wouldn’t want to do that to my kids as well. My daughter is already singing and dancing,” he said.
